Aux épaules courbes et aux montants étroits de l'étrier fait écho la tête étirée aux lignes souples, penchée. La fluidité des formes est accentuée par les traits stylisés du visage, le relief dominé par le front bombé sur lequel se croisent la nervure frontale - dont la ligne se prolonge dans la fine et longue arête nasale - et le plan des grands yeux clos, au relief émoussé. Superbe patine d'usage, nuancée, légèrement grumeleuse; brun rouge et brillante sur les reliefs.
